Ms. Dang Huiying Disabled from Persecution at the Balizhuang Forced Labour Camp in Baoding City
2007-08-19
Ms. Dang Huiying is in her fifties. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has persecuted her many times during the past eight years. The authorities sentenced her to three years of forced labour in 2004, to be served at the Baoding City Balizhuang Forced Labour Camp. Her prison term expired in May 2007, but the forced labour camp officials declared that Dang Huiying had not cooperated with them [because she refused to renounce Falun Gong] and thus extended her term for three more months and refused to release her. Now she has become disabled from torture and walks with a limp. -

Eyewitness to the Brutal Treatment of Falun Gong Practitioner Ms. Li Xiuying at Heizuizi Forced Labour Camp in Changchun City
2007-08-17I saw a woman lying on the ground. Her shirt was unbuttoned, and her bra was ripped loose and barely covering her breasts. Her trousers were also pulled loose, and she wore no shoes. It looked like she had been dragged on the ground for a long time. She was lying on her back, motionless, with her pale face turned to one side. Her hair was a mess. We could tell that she was still alive only from her slightly moving abdomen. Several guards were making dirty jokes and laughing at the practitioner on the ground. Liu Hu even kicked her and cursed, "Fake death." According to a prison guard, the woman was a Falun Gong practitioner from Tonghua City. I saw her name on a bulletin board: "Ms. Li Xiuying." -

Mr. Sun Yaoting Sentenced to Xinmi Men's Prison in Henan Province
2007-08-12On May 8th, 2007, Mr. Sun Yaoting was secretly sent to Xinmi Men's Prison without his family being notified.

A medical parole would be arranged through the courthouse if he was too sick, but he would be sent to Xinmi Men's Prison if his condition was not that bad. His family didn't have the money to pay for the exam, so the Yanshi City Political & Judiciary Committee found several so-called experts to examine him. They reported that his tuberculosis was negative and not contagious. On June 13th, 2007, Sun was sent to Xinmi Men's Prison. He had to be carried into the prison. -

2007-08-09All Dafa practitioners who are sent to the Harbin Drug Rehabilitation Centre, no matter what time they arrive, will be sent for inspection, have their hair cut, and immediately be summoned for interrogation until late at night.
